require a Bachelor's degree in some digital graphics major. (Which can cost around $30,000 depending on your college)

Advertising classes under your belt help too, since most of the work you do will be for marketing.

be gathered and presented in most cases.

How do I keep this job? Generally by being a great worker and having a

passion for design and art, or else this might get rough.

Understand you will not be the one creating meaningful art, auctioning for millions. If you wanted that, then fine arts is what you want.

Your client is everything, whether its your boss or your local dinner, pay attention to what they want, even if you don’t like it. (The customer is always right oooo)

Keep up with new software and changes in the market. People have a tendency to change what they like and don’t like!

Questions, comments, etc? (No? okay that’s cool.)
